Consumer Description

CHARCOAL CANNISTER ON FUEL TANK CLOGS W/ DIRT FROM GRAVEL ROAD, CAUSES ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I PAID TO REPLACED IT WITH A RE-DESIGNED PART & DEALER STILL REPEATEDLY HAS TO CLEAN NEW 1 OUT. HE SAYS THIS HAPPENS TO 97S & 98S. THIS IS A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. NOW I'M TOLD TO BUY ANOTHER NEW ONE WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WON'T CLOG. I'M DRIVING WITH IT CLOGGED. WHO KNOWS IF PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN THE TANK. COMPLAINTS TO FORD HAVE BEEN USELESS. I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. CANNOT AVOID GRAVEL ROAD. THIS SUV IS ADVERTISED TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF DRIVING. OUR FORD PICKUP AND JEEP CHEROKEE DON'T DO THIS. I WANT FORD TO COME UP A PART THAT WORKS.*AK
